Frequently asked questions about the Aaland Islands KYB API
What company data can I verify in Aaland Islands?
For a Aaland Islands company, the API returns the company record read live from the Finnish Patent and Registration Office: the entity name, type, status, registration number, address, and registration date, along with the controlling parties, and the available registry documents. See the table above for the full Aaland Islands availability.
Does the API return beneficial ownership (UBO) data for Aaland Islands companies?
For Aaland Islands, the Finnish Patent and Registration Office does not publish shareholder or beneficial-owner data, so the API returns the company record and the controlling parties and officers rather than a shareholder or beneficial-owner list. Where you need ownership for an entity in a jurisdiction that does publish it, the recursive org-chart (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/org-chart) resolves it. See the UBO API.
Can I retrieve official registry documents for Aaland Islands companies?
Yes. The default document set for Aaland Islands includes Registry Extract, retrieved by default, with additional documents available on demand (Registered financial statements, Rules in electronic form). List and download them with the documents endpoint (GET /v2/Companies/{caseCommonId}/documents).
Is there a free sandbox for testing Aaland Islands company verification?
Yes. The Know Your Customer sandbox at https://api.knowyourcustomer.dev is a free, high-fidelity test environment. Request free sandbox access to start testing.
